Ans: I am living in Indore (M.P.) , I will compare local prices and Flipkart prices.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Want to buy wireless keyboard and mouse .
And the smallest cabinet available with vertical DVD drive bay to keep the cabinet horizontal on office table.
Dont know anything about TIM manufacturing Companies .

why a square monitor?
and wireless keyboard/mouse will rise the budget even more.

TIM will be available with processor.

Here's my suggestion:


Overshot your budget coz its impossible to build a 15k decent performing rig with all components. Added a good psu coz an office system runs 24/7 (idle) or simply put most of the time. A good psu delivers clean and efficient power throughout ensuring longevity of components even though its an overkill. If you want, you can strike that off and go for a local psu.

I've given an AMD llano based config coz of its overall multimedia performance under win 7. Its fit for all basic tasks you can throw at it. Alternatively you can look for the following intel setup in the same overall budget:


You have to hunt down your choice of cabinet locally.
Square monitors (4:3) aren't available these days at all. The one i've given is an led monitor and should be more than decent for an office system.
I've provided links for all components listed so that you can order online straightaway.

Give us your feedback on the config mate.

Thank you both
Hey I never knew that TIM will be available with Processor. thanks

BTW
Batman's rig is looking good ...
It will be my first experience with AMD processor (hey your prescribed site of MoBO is telling "Availability : Pre-Order" , so is it Launched or not ? ) What about this Mobo MSI A55M P35
But there is no need of UPS so I am cutting it out .
And replacing given KeyB/Mouse with Zebronics Companion
I need to think more about monitor and cabinet.
are those type of cabinets really available of which I am talking about ??
You can suggest me some normal cabinets (but small) too ...

^^ You're welcome mate.

Ummm sorry about the keyboard choice. I was looking for something cheap so ended up suggesting you with one having a ball mouse!!!!

I think instead of that zebronics, you should pay a little more for a decent wireless keyboard from a good brand like logitech. Its good in the long run plus has the aesthetics suitable for an office use.
